Weak Gravitational Lensing [PDF]
Proceedings of Frontiers of Fundamental Physics 14 — PoS(FFP14), 2008 In this brief review I consider the advances made in weak gravitational lensing over the last 8 years, concentrating on the large scales - cosmic shear. I outline the theoretical developments, observational status, and the challenges which cosmic shear must overcome to realise its full potential. Finally I consider the prospects for probing Dark Energy

Instrumental systematics and weak gravitational lensing [PDF]
Journal of Instrumentation, 2015 We present a pedagogical review of the weak gravitational lensing measurement process and its connection to major scientific questions such as dark matter and dark energy. Then we describe common ways of parametrizing systematic errors and understanding how they affect weak lensing measurements.

Gravitational Lensing: Strong, Weak and Micro [PDF]
, 2006 The theory, observations, and applications of gravitational lensing constitute one of the most rapidly growing branches of astrophysics. The gravitational deflection of light generated by mass concentrations along a light path produces magnification ...

Weak gravitational lensing cross-correlations
, 2017 The matter content of the Universe is dominated by dark matter. Beyond its abundance and its lack of non-gravitational interactions with standard model matter, little is known about the nature of dark matter. This thesis attempts to illuminate different aspects of dark matter by using gravitational lensing in conjunction with other cosmological probes.

Galaxy-Galaxy weak gravitational lensing in cluster environment [PDF]
, 2012 An investigation was carried out into the phenomenon of galaxy-galaxy weak lensing in a sample of 10 X-ray selected galaxy clusters. Using high resolution Hubble Space Telescope imaging data and mathematical techniques described within, the feasibility ...

Gravitational lensing from a spacetime perspective. [PDF]
, 2004 The theory of gravitational lensing is reviewed from a spacetime perspective, without quasi-Newtonian approximations. More precisely, the review covers all aspects of gravitational lensing where light propagation is described in terms of lightlike ...

Weak gravitational lensing of the CMB [PDF]
Physics Reports, 2006 Weak gravitational lensing has several important effects on the cosmic microwave background (CMB): it changes the CMB power spectra, induces non-Gaussianities, and generates a B-mode polarization signal that is an important source of confusion for the signal from primordial gravitational waves.

Weak Gravitational Lensing of Finite Beams [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2017 The standard theory of weak gravitational lensing relies on the infinitesimal light beam approximation. In this context, images are distorted by convergence and shear, the respective sources of which unphysically depend on the resolution of the distribution of matter---the so-called Ricci-Weyl problem.

Weak gravitational lensing by dark clusters [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002 We calculate the abundance of dark-matter concentrations that are sufficiently overdense to produce a detectable weak-gravitational-lensing signal. Most of these overdensities are virialized halos containing identifiable X-ray and/or optical clusters. However, a significant fraction are nonvirialized overdensities still in the process of gravitational ...

Nulling tomography with weak gravitational lensing [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2005 We explore several strategies of eliminating (or nulling) the small-scale information in weak lensing convergence power spectrum measurements in order to protect against undesirable effects, for example the effects of baryonic cooling and pressure forces on the distribution of large-scale structures. We selectively throw out the small-scale information
